Here's a build that's been hanging around for years and years, and not really changed much despite having loads of plans for it. Most of this was detailed in a showroom post back in 2014 but here's a recap before we get on to the latest updates: A HPI Graverobber body was bought and given a light dusting of silver metalflake and flourescent green, before having some teardrops and a skull motif masked off and painted all in black. The skull and teardrops were then finished off in silver and green. This is a photo from way back in 2012 when the body was first finished, before any decals went on, back in my old flat. It was put over a TL01 chassis wearing M04 rear arms, to narrow the rear track and tuck the wheels under the body. I made an interior from styrene sheet covered with cheap imitation velvet, and the ghoul figures are actually the skeletal remains of those clip-on koala toy things that people bring back from Australia, with their skin removed, and sprayed in white with a mere dusting of flourescent green. Ghoulish hair came from my wife's Supplies Of Random Stuff. Coffin made from plasticard - I used the hood scoop as a template for the dimensions, and a decal from the Graverobber decal sheet for the handles. Then I completely failed to take any photos of it whatsoever. In 2014, after moving house, the hearse got unboxed and cleaned up, and photographed. The triangle box you see up-front is my way of trying to hide the empty space at the back of the huge arches. The body just pushes over the interior, no need for body pins
